    Japanese culture is amazing. Socially it's a lot different than other places, mostly from wanting to avoid unpleasant situations or giving off a bad or troubled appearance. Even in conversation they'll smile and nod and do the nervous laugh even if they're wanting to cry. I think that response is similar-- Japan got some attention that made them look vulnerable or able to be taken advantage of. In the US at least, individuals would blame a group for what happened and nobody specificially ends up responsible, but there the group blames the individuals and they become responsible irrationally. I wish there was a middle ground.
